Expert Note
View More NotesLast week, with Tyson Bagent under center, Luther Burden was third on the team in target share (17.6%) and first-read share (17.4%). Burden finished with 63 receiving yards (2.63 YPRR) and one deep target (zero red zone targets). Overall, Burden leads the team with a 22% target share and 28.6% first-read share while logging 2.11 YPRR, six red zone targets, and a deep target. This week, Burden faces a Green Bay secondary that has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (62.1%). Over the last two weeks, against two high, Burden ranks third on the team with a 27% target-per-route run rate with 1.73 YPRR. Burden should have a solid week against a secondary that is 17th in fantasy points per opportunity against wide receivers.
Player News
View More NewsLuther Burden III caught four of his six targets for 63 yards and added an 11-yard run in a 23-12 win over the Jets in Week 4.
Fantasy Impact
Burden got off to a fast start, catching three of his four passes in the first quarter, but was held to just one catch the rest of the way. He has been trending up, but fantasy managers are still waiting for a blow-up game from the second-year receiver. He will be a high-end WR3 in fantasy in Week 5 vs. the Packers.
